"This hostel provides evening meals every night with great vegetarian options as well which was an amazing perk."
"The rooms themselves were spacious, cleaned regularly and we even had our own outside area with table and chairs."
"Dorm was over 2 floors so a lot of space for everyone and backpacks, makes a nice change from being crammed into a small room in some hostels."

“What strikes me most is its prime location in the heart of town, a short stroll from Byron Bay's iconic beach. The social scene seems active, and the bar is a plus, though perhaps the common areas could encourage more mingling. Overall, for travelers prioritizing location and an upbeat vibe, this could be a solid pick.”
